Nouveau Palais is an old-timey diner with wood panels and cozy banquet tables. I felt very comfortable and immediately liked the vibe here.
I hear their burger is the best but after spending the day walking in the Plateau on a very hot summer day, I wanted something a little lighter and so I chose their sandwich special of the day. It was a pesto-tomato-potato chips on a onion bun; it had me at potato chips. Anything with potato chips is awesome. The sides were fries and cold slaw. The sandwich was really good and the ingredients were fresh.
I came here on a quiet afternoon and had the place all too myself. I'd be interested to check out how this place is on week nights because it just seems like that kind of place.
